(I know it's not a tt position, but we're a bit short of those this year! AFII 11:14, January 14, 2012 (UTC))

Non TT faculty positions in the Natural Sciences and Mathematics including History of Science

9 month post: "A PhD in any field of the natural sciences or mathematics that complements the academic focus of the existing faculty members. Candidates whose work integrates views from multiple areas of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and/or the humanities (e.g. historians of science) are encouraged to apply as well. Experience in leading discussion seminars and/or teaching argumentative writing skills is required."

" While the particular sub-field is open, we are primarily interested in candidates who can add to our existing strengths in the history of science, technology, medicine and the environment. Candidates at the associate professor level may also be considered to direct Drexel's Program in Science, Technology & Society. For that position we will consider historians as well as candidates in sociology, anthropology, political science, and other STS-focused fields. For both positions research centered on Africa or Asia may be viewed favorably."

Maybe, but you would think they would want to interview early next year, thus mid-December notification?

A point of clarification: Does this mean they have not yet requested any letters of recommendation either?

No requests for recs on my end. I would imagine that they'd request recs from someone before moving to the next round of phone/skype/AHA.

12//8: have heard nothing as well, and assume the above post has it right; I'm guessing they're still working through the applications.

Especially given the breadth of the call, I'd imagine they have an entire ocean of applications to sift through.

Likewise here--nor has someone else I know who applied.

12/12: no word here; (x3)

Still nothing (12/21)? Nothing on my end. (x2) and have heard nothing from friends who also applied.

so can we assume no AHA interviews? Maybe they will conduct phone/skype interviews in January.

I think that sounds highly reasonable with an STS search and a department that's not an AHA style program, so to speak.

Still no word (1-6)

I think this search is toast.

Yep, I agree. (Although I have no hard information. Just a feeling.)

Failed search, in other words?

12/28 letters were requested (Thanks for clarification.)

Really? Over the holidays and on such short notice? Very strange. I'm assuming candidates were notified when their letter writers were asked to submit on their behalf (assuming you are not a letter writer for this job, in other words). Thanks in advance.

Can anyone else confirm this info? I agree it sounds odd.

Ok, I'm confused. Someone posted a week or so ago that letters had indeed been requested over the holidays, apparently speaking from direct personal experience. Now that post has been deleted. What gives?

[18 Jan] It appears that one of the original posters deleted their contribution. The additional information was that the deadline for references was 3 Jan. Obv. we can't know why they deleted - an error, nervous about being identified, etc., so you may not want to rely on this info. AFII 07:59, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

This whole thing just keeps getting stranger.

I agree that this is very strange. If anybody picks up any reliable information on the status of this search, it would be much appreciated to have the situation clarified.

1/18. Committee has now met and made short list from applicant pool of over 350.

9/27 I was one of those who had a request for letters last December (I was asked to get my recommenders to sent them the letters by 3 January). Curious who got the position/s.

The department welcomes applications from candidates specializing in the History and Philosophy of Science since 1800. While a generalist in the History and Philosophy of Science is preferred, the department particularly encourages applicants whose teaching and scholarship offer a global, transnational perspective on the development of modern science. Preference may also be given to candidates specializing in one or more of the following sub-fields: 1) Science and Imperialism; 2) Environmental History; 3) History of Medicine; 4) Industry and Technology.

Apply: The College will review applications as received. Although materials received beforeDecember 10, 2011 are best assured of receiving full consideration, the position will remain open until filled.

Any word? (2/2)

Not here (2/3)

On campus interviews in progress

Curious, given the breadth of issues covered in the phone interview, how the final candidates "fit". What do you think helped you make the cut?

Two tenure track assistant professorships; one in 19th or 20th C US history, one in 19th or 20th C European history.

Relevant to this page because: "Ability to participate decisively in one or more of the department's three Nodes of Excellence: Agriculture, Rural and Environmental History; International Security/Internal Safety; and History of Science and Technology." is desired

This position is designed to build on the momentum created by the hiring of three new associate professors in women’s and gender history in 2010-2011.

The successful candidate for this assistant professorship will join a vibrant department deeply committed to the historical study of gender and its role in shaping the world we now live in. As part of his/her teaching and research duties, s/he will be expected to contribute broadly conceived courses at the undergraduate level and to be actively involved in the training and mentoring of graduate students. Area of specialization for teaching and research in this position is open and can include historians with interests in the life sciences, the physical sciences, the environment, medicine and technology, as well as other areas related to women, gender, and science.

Geographical and temporal specialization is also open with preference for work that is broadly cross-cultural and comparative. PhD must be in hand by June 30, 2012. Review of applications will begin on Dec. 1 and preliminary interviews will be conducted at the AHA annual meeting. Applications should be addressed to Professor Bonnie Smith, Search Committee Chair, and submitted electronically via Interfolio.

Applicants should include a CV, three letters of reference, and a 3-5 page statement of research and teaching accomplishments. PDF files of a candidate’s PhD thesis and publications are also welcome. Rutgers is an AA/EOE with a deep commitment to promoting faculty diversity.

So anyone know when they might contact candidates for AHA interviews?

are they doing AHA interviews or just doing phone/skype?

any news on this job?

They said in the ad that they would do prelims at the AHA, so has anyone heard anything? (12/21)

yeah that's what I was wondering as well. I havent heard anything (12/21)

If they are still going to conduct interviews at the AHA, what is the latest date that they would contact candidates? (12/22)

any news? (01/06)

I forgot to look at the AHA, to see if they held interviews for this position. Does anyone know if they did?

so is this job a no go? have they already done interviews?

I emailed the department and was told that they decided not to conduct interviews based on the poll of applicants that they received. There is a possibility that they will revise the ad and repost it.

02/06 received e-mail stating: " In the end, the Department of History decided to terminate this search for the time being. In one to two years we hope to re-advertise for a history of science position or a cluster of positions."

[5 years]"

SHORT Deadline: 26 Aug. 2011

7 Sept. request for further materials (deadline 18 Sept.)

14 Oct: decision's been made. Award won't be confirmed until the summer though, so no names yet...

Tenure Track assistant professor in the History of Medicine and/or Public Health

"Specialization outside the United States and Europe preferred. The department is particularly interested in seeing applications from candidates with research specializations in Latin America, Africa, South Asia, or East Asia."

"Applications documenting research in European Renaissance, Reformation and Counter-reformation, Scientific and Cultural Revolution and that complement existing departmental specialties will receive particular attention."

[link is to general call for applications; text from Mersenne mailing lists re. specific call for Hist Sci.]

Senior Researcher (Permanent) in History of Science

"Minimum requirements for the application are a Ph.D. degree obtained preferably before 2008, with four years of international exposure at pre-doctoral and/or post-doctoral level. Only very strong candidates with an outstanding research record and excellent leadership capabilities will be considered"

" Potential History of Science candidates should contact Dr. Agustí Nieto-Galan [agusti.nieto@uab.cat], director of the CEHIC, before 17 April 2012, including an updated CV as an attached file, and a short statement of research interests for the next five years."

"Candidates must have obtained a PhD (or equivalent) and have an outstanding record of excellence in teaching, research and publication in the subject."

"Through this appointment the Department seeks to recruit new expertise in the field of the history of science and technology since the First World War so as to enhance its teaching programme and its research work. Though the period to be covered by this post is restricted to that since the First World War, the field is unrestricted as to the form of science and technology and the geographical area studied."

I think there should be a policy of NOT posting information about specific job candidates. This information seems to have been taken from a listserv, and isn't publicly posted. I think candidates' privacy should be protected in these instances. You never know if people want it generally known that they are on the market.

Hmm: not sure what you mean - the listserv archive is publically visible & you can easily google links to the archive, and the list itself is not internal, so it's not really 'private' in any meaningful sense. I've restored the link but perhaps we should share thoughts on the General History Talk Page? AFII 16:00, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

What do I mean? Some people might not want the fact that they've applied for jobs to be public information (e.g., if they already have a job). On past instantiations of these wikis, it was policy not to discuss names of individual candidates. And I fail to see how knowing the names of individual candidates helps any job seekers--it's just gossip. You can split hairs about whether an archived listserv is "public" information, but this wiki certainly doesn't need to be making that information more widely available. Seriously, this kind of thing can really put someone in a very bad position--don't you see that? I'm not going to get in an edit war with you, but I hope you'll do the right thing and take the link down. It doesn't serve anyone being up there.

I've responded at the General History Talk Page because it doesn't make sense to have this discussion in two separate places. AFII 22:13, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

[10 Jan] Offer made and accepted - ABD, Yale - details in the same place as the job talk announcements.

Rec. ackn. on 20 Oct. "The search committee has begun the review process. We will be in touch again as soon as there are any new developments." Nothing since then. I presume there have been no new developments? But does anyone know if they're interviewing at AHA, OAH?

[Nov, 18] A shortlist has been drawn up and candidates have been asked for additional materials.

submit date September 15, 2011

NB: Maybe this warrants a listing under History of Technology instead of History of Science, but I am not clear on how to add a new category

[done: and I've added a direct link to an advert, as the Puget Sound job site doesn't allow direct linking to individual posts AFII 13:08, July 27, 2011 (UTC)]

Anyone received word, one way or the other? Bueller? Bueller?

Nothing on my end 10/31/2011.

Nothing on 11/1/2011

Also heard nothing (11/3). Any idea if they were interviewing at HSS/SHOT/4S?

UPS did interview this weekend at HSS/SHOT/4S in Cleveland.

I talked to faculty member of another university at HSS/SHOT in Cleveland who knew of this search and confirmed that it was indeed someone in History of Technology that they were looking for, despite the ad stating "should have a Ph.D. in History of Science." Apparently, the Basic/Applied distinction does apply when it comes to employment, even if problematized in general (11/7)

Well best of luck to those who got interviews. I'll admit to being pretty disappointed that I'm not one of you, but, just the same, mazel tov.
